Famous quotes containing the words open and/or space:
“Why the jailer does not leave open his prison doors,why the judge does not dismiss his case,why the preacher does not dismiss his congregation! It is because they do not obey the hint God gives them, nor accept the pardon which he freely offers to all.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“With sturdy shoulders, space stands opposing all its weight to nothingness. Where space is, there is being.”
